DAC

The design for the Danish Architecture Centre (DAC) is a linear display of the
tenets of Danish Modernism: monumentality, simplicity and
politeness. The Copenhagen harbour is experiencing a surge in
development, transforming a previously under used natural asset
into a new city-wide destination. The Bryghusgrunden site lies in
the centre of this transformation. To capitalize on the site's
potential we propose to use the building as an 'urban motor' to
actively link the city and the waterfront. Providing a connection
under the busy Christians Brygge, where entrances to the different
program elements are strategically located, the site becomes both a
destination and a connector at the hinge of the waterfront and the
'entrance' to the city.
